HYC50xx series procurement in 2024? lol get ready to grab your ankles. Ah the joys of captive audience, don't miss that ish one bit. It's a merc marine trim pump. It's highway robbery in the bUh aViAtIOn application.

Indeed, I kept getting those flyers until the registration changed names in OKC post mortem. I walked away over it after 13 years. The last 4 years jumped the shark. For me the cost of overhaul plus the R/R would have exceeded the insured hull value of the aircraft. Doubling the nut was a price...

Again, [NBA] it's an anachronistic party trick meant to be a glove save to get you akwardly out of the clouds before you lose control of a lawnmower ill-equipped for sustained IMC flight. Which statistically, given enough heading, time and altitude changes, will happen 100% of the time. It's...

needle ball airspeed nonsense. Killed more people than cancer.

yabut he says he's also getting higher than normal CHTs (for ground ops) while idling. That reads like baffle trouble in an otherwise loosely cowled contraption, like pa28s are FWF.

So first it was brazilians will shoot you out of the sky. Since that claim is easily-falsibiable nonsense about their internal airspace control, now we're on to employers are quick to fire you down there. That's a lot of DME-arcing just to igonre occam: They got complacent about icing on their...

I think mods made a mistake merging an MCS-riddled non-sequitur impostor thread with the bona fide McPherson case discussion threads. #dontcancelme

impotent rage.

Main character syndrome may not a deferrable condition...but it should be.

mixture ain't mixing right, or your baffling installation is wrong. I know he said he checked it... well "certified" maintenance and a buck twenty gets me a cup of coffee in this life. Archers are cavernous engine installations, they're not anywhere near what tightly cowled setups (Lancairs...

Apropos of nothing, do we really need "Juan Brown" to say it, for people to know that? It's truly scary that there are an entire class of pilots out there so obsequious to ATC, they rather watch themselves die before exercising a modicum of self-preservation and vacate...

Yeah, evaluation quality control has always been a specious affair, especially in part 61 land. Rule #1, Life ain't fair. The notion everybody gets failed/passed when incurring the same infraction is facts not in evidence. I've had failures I deserved, and ones I didn't. That experience...

That's a lot of tragedy in rapid succession for a single individual given the age of the departed, statistically speaking. My condolences. This life I tell ya.

the 120 years is just click bait for the media. One of the boober videos hightlighted an attorney explaining federal sentencing guidelines; this first offender would likely have the repetitive counts served concurrent. 11 years he's out in 8. If he gets a good lawyer this thing becomes another...

The aviation services have done a relatively visible job of relegating frontline fighters (legitimate extreme population outliers within the DoD specialty code universe) to the background over support/non-flying jobs, in their more recent (last 10 years) history of TV and now social media...

Not TJIG (too small a runway). The 156th FW/AW/WG was always at SJU. Yes, A-7s then 16s, then E model scrap Herks, then WC-130 even bigger POS herks, then the fatal in Savannah, then nothing.

according to my latest count, yeah 72s, and a single C-12 on a detachment. The ramp location hasn't changed. I still remember as a kid watching the Hueys on the ramp when the adjoining property was still a govt office cluster (today the grounds hold the PR Convention Center). Looks like the...

That in TJIG my hometown 'drome! Good times.

I empathize with your troubles and AOG frustrations. It's insane how some apologists still booster these dynamics as a "thriving" hobby. It's crazy. fwiw, you wouldn't have this problem if you weren't tied to some anachronistic TCDS/STC hamstringing, that's a fact. Make that what you will/pivot...

yeah, anecdotally, have to admit their approach to our presence/airspace conflict (helo flight schools) has been very rude/pugilistic when I was stationed at my previous metro usa locale. I find it interesting others on here have similar narratives. fwiw, it appears not just anti-recreational...
